Are you a Type 1 insulin dependent diabetic?

Do you inject insulin with meals?

Do you want better control?

I did.......and so I built this app.
I've been a diabetic since I was a child but my HbA1c average blood glucose reading is still not as good as it should be. I understand the theory of good diabetic management, but in practice, I struggle to carry it out.

I like to eat out, but I don't enjoy broadcasting my condition.

I enjoy a varied diet and I don't want to limit the types of food I eat, for the sake of blood glucose predictability.

My diary is busy enough without recording  the detail of every mealtime event.


I don't carry around scales and I find some carbohydrate rating too subjective.
How big is a ‘medium sized potato’ anyway?


My recorded tests were quite good but these were nearly always taken at meal times. It was suggested, that my long-term insulin dose was about right, and that I was probably not always injecting an adequate dose of fast acting insulin with my meals.

My specialist nurse said that if I wrote down in a notebook all my meals along with a pre-meal and a 2 hour post meal blood test, I could then use this notebook as a personal reference manual for my future meals.

Carry around a notebook and then thumb through it looking for each meal?
    ......... This was never going to happen, so I looked at the diabetic apps available for my iPhone.
Some were very comprehensive, but none of them gave me what I needed most.

A meal focused real time system that collected and referenced my past experiences so that I could use this personal knowledge base to asses how much insulin I should take with each future meal.

Eater Meter is the result!


Select the carb containing items of a meal. Build up a meal from your food-list or copy a previous meal and then amend it if you need to.


Build up a personal food-list containing raw produce, branded goods or personal dishes like 'Mum's Apple Pie' or 'Lungi's Lasagna'.


The food measurements are unambiguous because they are all yours. If you think it's a small potato, then it's a small potato.


When a breakfast, lunch or dinner meal is entered, the screen is populated with a list of the most relevant meals that you have eaten before.


Each Meal shows the insulin dose taken with it - colour coded for appropriateness, with a reference to recent hypos or exercise.


Input blood readings and insulin dosage in real time with quick entry dials. Record Hypos when they occur..... or later when you feel better.


Blood recordings can be viewed on a monthly chart or in a list format. Export the stats to yourself or your doctor via email.
